These are the cornrows we are used to, with their bold lines weaving to the back of the head with precision. As the braids leave the head, they hang down and are bound at the ends. If the hair is short, the braids will curl up slightly, keeping a very neat appearance.
This is not the toughest style to master, but it must be done exactly for the proper visual effect. The sections of hair must be equal to create braids of equal size. The spacing between braids has to be the same, as well, or the braided lines will look uneven.
It takes quite a while to cornrow hair, and the longer the hair is, the longer it will take. But once the look is achieved, it can last a long time.
